Once in awhile we have a few extras from the giveaways we do here at The Tyra Show. Sometimes we can gift them to special people who help out on the show; sometimes we have enough to do an extra giveaway; sometimes, none of that works and they sit here, lonely and unused.
That was the case with a box of teeny tiny size 4 Havaianas flip flops that have been taking up space here for months! After probing around, and wasting a few Post-It notes, the choice became clear: These flip flops had to go to a stellar charity that could really work some magic.
That's when a friend suggested Goods For Good.
Since 2006, Goods for Good has gathered, shipped, and distributed over 100 tons of essential goods to over 500,000 vulnerable children in Malawi and Liberia. Accepting mostly extra goods from companies who would otherwise banish them to supply rooms to collect dust, Goods For Good is able to provide these children with essentials like pens and paper, soap, and even fabric for clothing.
By passing on our surplus flip-flops, we are able to lend a helping hand to some Malawi children who just wanna be able to get to school.
There are more ways you can reach out, too. Think about donating a little money, which goes a long way; just $39 provides antibacterial soap for 20 nursery schools! Or, you can even sign up to help pack goods being shipped off to Africa.
If you want to lend a hand, like we did, contact Goods For Good by visiting their website, www.goods4good.org.
